As the Central Election Commission was announcing preliminary election results, which showed Prime Minister Vladimir Putin with over 60% of the vote, Tina Kandelaki, the head of a Putin-mandated election monitoring group, said ballot stuffing was observed at a polling station in Dagestan, in Russia’s North Caucasus region. Later, Leonid Ivlev, deputy head of the election commission, said results from that polling station would be deemed invalid.

Therefore, it would seem that the Web-monitoring system, which cost the government $447 million, has caught only one fraudulent act on camera during the voting stage of the election.
